Mr. Smith lost a fight of several months duration against a malignant illness in the course of which he underwent a major opera tion in The Dalles two months ago.

Matthew Clay Smith, always fa miliarly known as "Mack," was born to pioneer parents at Echo, Sept. 26, 1875. His parents having crossed the plains with early day pioneers were among the early settlers at Echo. Coming to Heppner early in life, he wedded Miss Letha Devin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Devin, in this city, December 31, 1902. He worked with stock for a number of years and at one time was city marshal for three years. For several years he held the position of straw boss with county road crews and always held the friendship of all with whom he came in contact. He was in charge of construction work on the Ditch creek-Willow creek diversion chan nel from the beginning, and after completion was in charge as main tenance man until his illness forced retirement. His exceptional interest and capable work on this project in spired the county court to cause the ditch to be known by his name. Besides the widow, Mr. Smith is survived by a son, Austin I. Smith, of Portland; daughter, Mrs. James L Leach of Lexington; one grandchild, and the following brothers and sis ters: Tom of Echo, Ivan of Calif or nia, Martin of Monse, Wash., Mrs. Lewis Scholl of Wasco, Mrs. Scott Churchill of Shell, Mrs. Otto Bur son of Aumsville, Mrs. Ethel Powell of Eugene.

Mrs. Ridings has just completed her year of teach ing work there and is visiting at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Clark, while Mr. Rid ings who taught in Columbia uni versity junior college service at the same time, went on to the home of his parents at Eugene. Mrs. Ridings said her smartest pupil was a Chinese boy while she had one negro pupil. Scandina vians, Italians, Irish and other nationalities were included along with a liberal number of real Americans. She said she found the work extremely interesting, being impressed with the reaction of parents to world happenings. New York evidenced a strong influence by the boycott on Jap anese made goods, with the wear ing of cotton clothing extremely popular among all classes. Well-to-do ladies did not hesitate to don cotton stockings, she said. Some interest in cotton was lost, how ever, when word spread that many of the cotton articles were manu factured in Japan. Specialist Gives Hints on Choice Of New Curtains New curtains will do the same things for a room that a newly-leafed tree does for the garden, or a new dress for one's personality, says Miss Joan Patterson, extension specialist in home furnishings at Oregon State college. They can make an individ ual seem to be living in an entirely different environment, she feels. Curtains can be simple or elabor ate, according to the taste of the homemaker, but it is wise to re member that curtains have special duties to perform, Miss Patterson says. They soften the structural lines of the window, soften otherwise glaring light, and help to tie to gether all the colors and patterns in the room. In addition to these important rea sons for their existence, curtains also serve as a part of the back ground along with the walls, to set off the furnishings rather than fight ing with them for attention in the room, says Miss Patterson. If the up holstered furniture and the rugs are of figured designs, it is unwise to have figured draperies, elaborate net curtains and flowery wallpaper, she believes. Plain, simple backgrounds will set off the figures in the fur niture. Among curtain materials that Miss Patterson recommends for this pur pose, because they will wear well, wash well and remain good looking for several years, are plain scrim, marquisette, theatrical gauze, rayon net, simple cotton nets and voile. It is wise to select good quality ma terials that will hold up under the testing strain of jerking the fabric and sliding a finger nail across the weave. Color fastness is important too, and it is well to select curtains of neutral tones such as white, cream or ecru, because they hold up well against the light, she says. Colored curtains, though pretty and some what of a fad at the time they are bought, do not have the lifetime wearing quality that the homemak er plans for a pair of curtains, and in the end are a poor investment, she believes. It is better to express the desire for color in the wallpaper and other furnishings of the room, she feels, and points out that the house looks better from the exterior too if all the windows, on the front of the house at least, display curtains of the same color.
